Unica Anterior Matrices
Coming Soon!
A Polydentia classic for anterior restorations
Unica anterior is the ideal matrix to perform direct class III, IV, V cavity restorations, and aesthetic restorations such as direct stratification composite veneers and shape modifications of maxillary central incisors. Thanks to its contoured shape, Unica anterior matrix allows the proximal and cervical margins to be restored at the same time, even in the presence of a rubber dam or gingival retraction cords, thus reducing the time needed for restoration. In addition, once positioned, Unica anterior matrix allow visualising the final shape of the restoration, even before starting the procedure.
Unica anterior matrix is available as convenient refills and included in the Unica anterior introkit.
Curion is proud to be an authorized distributor of Polydentia products in Canada. This product is backed by the manufacturer's warranty.

Tips and Tricks
Different solutions to fix Unica to the teeth
Unica anterior matrix placed on incisor 21 and fixed in place using a wooden wedge. The contoured shape of the matrix embraces the teeth and help the practitioner to better see where the proximal edge will be placed. | Unica anterior matrices placed on both incisors 11 and 21. The contoured shape of the matrices embraces the teeth and help the practitioner to better see where the midline is placed. In this case, the stability of the matrices itself does not require wedges or myCustom Resin to stay in position. | ||
This picture shows Unica anterior matrix fixed with an interproximal wedge made of hi-tech plastic material. Its innovative hollow v-shape allows it to compress and adapt to the interproximal anatomy of teeth. | In this case, we can see Unica fixed in place using myCustom Resin to stay in position. |

Frequently Asked Questions
The thickness of the anterior matrix Unica anterior is 0.03mm.
The use of myCustom Resin is recommended for fixing Unica anterior when it is not possible to adapt the matrix with interdental wedges. For example, in the case of a class III cavity adjacent to the cervical area of the tooth, the interdental wedge would risk deforming and/or moving the matrix (fig. 1). Therefore, the use of myCustom Resin is recommended in this case (fig.2).
We recommend using myCustom Resin as it features the ideal thixotropy and light-curing time to optimise the procedure.
It is highly recommended to use a rubber dam when performing dental restorations. This is to avoid contamination of the operating field and increase patient safety.
